In the Gard region of France, situated alongside the river Vidourle and surrounded by vines, you can discover the idyllic medieval town of Sauve. Ascending through the narrow streets and ancient stairs, you will reach an extraordinary town square, which is where Au Bon Jaja is located.
Surprisingly, in a region known for its production of natural wines, it is not always easy to find an excellent natural wine bar or restaurant outside of the main cities. Au Bon Jaja fills this void by serving as a bar, restaurant, and wine shop, specializing in natural wines.
Emily Schons and Léo Zamponi, along with their team, offer a delectable menu crafted from the finest local and seasonal ingredients. If you arrive early enough, you can enjoy a glass of wine while observing local producers delivering their cheese or other exquisite delicacies. Don't forget to indulge in their renowned desserts, acclaimed locally as the town's finest.
Au Bon Jaja is only open from April to September, but it is unquestionably worth a visit. The wine selection is extensive, available by the glass or bottle, and the staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and amiable. The picturesque setting in Sauve's town square positions this wine bar as one of the best locations in the area. Whether you are on vacation or not, it feels like you are sitting in a little piece of paradise.
